Hello I'm trying to source a decent, not too pricey Flip Book software suitable for Mac. Currently, the company we hire to create them uses.
When you say the word “flipbook,” most people think of a small book containing drawings in the corners that animate when you turn quickly through them. But in the digital age, the term takes on a new meaning. A flipbook is a professional, glossy presentation of a PDF file in magazine or catalogue format. Users “flip” though the book by clicking on the interface, and the program responds with an animated turn of the page.
Some advantages to using flipbooks are:. they look like actual magazines, so the format is familiar. no publishing costs are involved. can be shared on social media, websites, and/or designated servers. full-color display.
often have embedded multi-media elements. appear cutting edge, are beautiful to look at, and come with a significant wow! Factor Flipbooks are a way for you to post information online to social media, on websites, or designated servers, and are an excellent tool for:. educators creating e-courses. students wanting to create glossy reports. authors.
magazine publishers. businesses with catalogues they update regularly If your interest is piqued and you want to learn more, here’s a list of the top 10 flipbook software programs to get you started you on your journey of discovery.
PUBHTML5 allows users to create gorgeous, professional-looking online magazines. While the free version is enough to give you a taste (if you don’t mind the company watermark), there are a number of reasonably-priced paid options.
→ Pros. pages in demos are quick to flip and load.
books can be converted to EXE, ZIP, and HTML files for offline viewing. has built-in ability to upload to 1stFlip server for easy online viewing.
fully customizable templates available Cons. free version is only a 30-day trial. must have the latest version of Flash installed to view flipbooks Here’s what you get with the paid version 1stFlip is $99.00 USD for the flipbook creator and $299.00 for the pro plan. The cost is the same whether for Mac or Windows operating systems. The differences between the regular and pro options include the ability to:. insert new pages into existing flipbooks. add trigger actions, converting callouts, shapes, and text into hotspot links.
embed a number of features including YouTube video and audio. delete unwanted pages or readjust page order. I would warn against FlipHTML5 – they recently made some “upgrades” to their system, which resulted in our download links breaking twice – clearly their fault, which we documented fortunately, because they tried to claim at first it was our error. We were able to show that 1) they failed to document the need to copy the download link to a separate setting from the “Allow download” checkbox, and 2)several days later changed the download links without notification, while the download button in our flipbooks continued to point to the old link. Now the download statistic is not working.
In answer to my email to support, they replied that downloads are only counted when the download button in the flipbook is used. Well, yes – and that IS the button everyone used. There is no other way to download the PDF from our flipbooks.
We have them hosted on their server not on our domain. Between those problems, and the language barrier (documentation is in poor English, and tech support is not very fluent either), I recommend using some other service. We have been using FlipHTML5 for two years without too many problems. Support is so-so at best (language, knowledge, and it-is-not-our-fault-it-is-yours).
And now their website is down (since Aug 19, 2017) – no answers, no temporary website, nothing. It has been 15 hours at least – whatever happened to their servers, this is totally unprofessional. Our business and most of our revenues depend on their servers working! Then I discovered that Anyflip is the exact same software by the exact same company as Fliphtml5, WONDER IDEA TECHNOLOGY LIMITED of Hong Kong. And Anyflip’s website works fine right now.
So what is this? Are they just hugely incompetent or did they run away with the money??? We paid our yearly USD299 for Platinum Service (yeah!) only eight days ago. PS: Betty, for the record, I am not paid by their competitors, I paid them to do their job, like, properly. Hi Scott, Thanks for the article. I am looking at using a flip book format to publish a Legacy book that will only have limited circulation to family members (that is, not a business case).
I have been testing Flip Builder. I like their features – embedded audio, playing Vimeo videos in place, etc. My concern is that some of these features seem to be somewhat unstable, do not always work (at least in the free “test” version). Have you tested these features in production? Are there Flip Builder users out there who can attest to this product’s integrity? Thanks, Darren. I’ve been working with Flip PDF Professional for Mac and PUBHTML5 also for Mac.
Both seem to do what I need, but neither has any kind or reasonable support. In the case of Flip PDF, their last upgrade cost me several week’s worth of work and when I asked for help, they have not recently replied at all, much less offered a solution. I switched to PUBHTML5 which at first seemed better, but with plenty of bugs and not any better support. Based on your response above I am now investigating 1st Flip. Thanks for the help.
I got flipHTML5 platinum to create flip books for a few of my clients. Its relatively easy to use but clients had a few specific wants/needs that it doesn’t seem to support: 1. When clicking the download PDF link, it gives the PDF a random obscure name. I asked customer service and there is no way to give it a custom name to make it easy for the clients’ customers to recognize. They basically said this is they way it is and it will not change it.
When clicking the download PDF link, clients want an option to download a single page (current page) but this is not a feature either. Is there any other HTML5 software that is more customizable in these ways? Many of the above options seem to be nearly the exact same.
These are very minor things but to my clients they are important 🙂 The old flash based software I used (flipping book) had these features but they are only PC based which was a major pain to use. I need mac compatable software. Any suggestions would be helpful.
Also I or my clients generally host the books ourselves so a cloud based option is not necessary.
Pdfs open in all browsers and whilst they don't turn pages when clicking, they scroll, that behaviour can be changed in the actual pdf itself if you have a pdf editor. Acrobat Pro lets you edit pdfs for all sorts of interactivity including localised buttons and even included media. There are other cheaper alternatives to Acrobat Pro.
PDFs are very capable. I had a client quite a few years ago for whom I did entire presentations in pdfs because of their compactness, excellent layout and portability and they allowed zooming into details. The results at the time were substantially better then Powerpoint. Apple Footer. This site contains user submitted content, comments and opinions and is for informational purposes only.
